112 Sword of Myles Standish. 

Presented by William Trumbull Williams, of Lebanon, Conn., 
with the following certificate: 

I, Ezra Standish, of Bozrah, in New London County, Connecticut, 
•do certify, according to my best knowledge and belief, that the sword 
presented by William T. Williams, of Lebanon, in said State, to the Pil- 
grim Society, in Plymouth, in Massachusetts, was originally in the 
Standish family, and was brought up from Duxburo' by my great- 
grandfather, as I have always been informed (Samuel Standish), and 
has ever been considered to have been the sword of Captain Myles 
Standish, one of the first settlers of the Plymouth Colony, and my an- 
cestor — and I have no reason to doubt the fact. Ever since my remem- 
Tjrance it has been in the family, and has ever descended to the old- 
est son. My cousin, Lodowick Standish, sold it to said Williams. It 



16 

■was always called the Ancient Sword, and was always considered as a 
valuable relic. Lodowick is gone to Canada. The hilt of the sword is 
not the same that was on the original sword — the old hit was larger, 
and was called a basket hilt. The blade has on it the figures of the 
sun, moon and stars, and I think the figures 1149 in a circle, and on the 
blade letters or characters with which I am unacquainted. 

EZRA STANDISH. 
Bozrah, the 27th day of September, 1824. 

New London County, Bozrah, 27th September, 1824. 
Ezra Standish, aforesaid, personally appeared before me and made 
oath to the truth of the aforesaid facts. 

Sworn to before me, WILLIAM T. WILLIAMS, Jus't Peace. 

Inscription and History of the Sword of Myles Standish. 

This sword is, without doubt, of ancient Persian manufacture, 
called by the Orientals Dharban, viz., Meteor; and the material of 
which it is made is thunderbolt iron. There is not the least doubt that 
this sword fell into the hands of the Saracens at the time of the de- 
feat of the Persian tyrant warrior, Kozoori, when Jerusalem was 
wrenched from him by the Khalif Omar I., 637. The inscriptions and 
emblems show clearly the above facts. On closely examining the sun 
and moon engraved on the blade it will be seen that faces were en- 
graved inside the sun and moon, and on closer examination of the 
faces it will be noticed that the engraver did not intend to represent 
them as human, but lions' faces. History says that the sun, moon and 
stars were worshiped by the ancient Persians as the celestial deities 
of strength and power — the sun predominant, and the lion the ter- 
restrial emblem of the sun, whose head, surrounded by his shaggy 
mane, resembles the deity he represents. 

The present Persian coat-of-arms is derived from the mythology of 
their predecessors; the sun rising on a lion's back, crowned by the 
moon and with a circle of stars around her. 

Ancient swords and other weapons were said to have often been 
made from meteoric iron, and it has ahvays been believed by the an- 
cient as well as the modern orientals that that material had an inval- 
uable virtue of good luck in it, and a charm to its possessor. It is 
said by Arab historians that the Prophet (Mohammed) and his succes- 
sors were armed with Dharban swords; that when grasped against the 
enemies of the religion of the faithful the warrior had nothing to do 
but face the enemies — the sword would do the destruction. It was be- 
lieved by them that the virtue of the metal would strengthen them 
against fatigue of the muscles, and charm their lives from the attack 
and thrust of the enemy. 

The three inscriptions, as seen on the blade (one on the same side 
with the Persian emblems, and the other two on the other side) were 
engraved by the Mohammedans, and at a much later period than the 
Persian emblems. They are each different in hand and form. The 
first named of the two is the Mediaeval Cufic. 



17 

The interpretation is: "With peace God ruled His slaves, and with 
judgment of His arm He gave trouble to the valiant of the mighty 
courageous" — meaning the wicked. On the reverse side of the blade are 
the two above-mentioned inscriptions, part of one of which only can 
be deciphered: "In God is all might." The last line, that resembles 
Roman numerals, is not intended for a date, as one would be led to 
suppose, but it is of private significance, not known to anybody ex- 
cepting the possessor who had it engraved. The same with the other 
on the same side with the Mediaeval Cufic. No one can decipher it, 
as this is the key to the charm, and when once deciphered by any- 
body besides its real owner it becomes as valueless as a reed. Before 
closing our remarks let us notice above the two separate inscrip- 
tions; and here we find engraved again a combination of circles, 
intended to represent fire, and a conical shaft, to remind one of the 
meteoric metal of which the blade is made. 

N, B. — It is not to be wondered at, then, that European and Amer- 
ican scholars have failed to decipher the above. Even a medium 
Arabic scholar — and he more advanced than any foreign scholar in the 
vernacular language of his country — cannot decipher all the modern 
handwritings without giving an especial time and hard study, the 
Arabic language being so divided in itself, unlike any other in the 
world. Anyone brought up in one calling cannot decipher the hands 
of others, and it will at once be seen how difficult and impossible it 
would be for any professor or scholar to master a language that needs 
almost a lifetime to acquire it perfectly. 

Having endeavored to serve the owners of this valuable relic of the 
past, in giving a faithful interpretation of the inscription thereon, 

I remain, with the greatest respect, their obedient servant, 
1881. JAMES ROSEDALE, of Jerusalem Holy.
